Track 12

[psychmaster]

[Neko's currently sitting on one of the hallways, looking up at the white ceiling and ignoring the horrible carpet and just listening to the music. And gasp and shock, her headphones are hanging around her neck and she's smiling. Yes, she's enjoying herself and doesn't seem to mind that she's not listing to her usual Techno.]

[Manjoume, meanwhile, does not appear to be enjoying himself. No, he has not made his way to the 24th floor, mostly because he doesn't feel like it. He's fought the nightmares, deciding that if he has to relive that bad memory every night in order to get any sleep, he'll be stubborn and fight to get a few hours in at least, but that doesn't mean it hasn't visibly taken its toll on him.

At the moment, he's sitting on Level 15 at a café or something, drinking some hot chocolate (let's just see if -that- helps at all) and with a slice of plain chocolate cake - no icing, just fluffy cake - nearby that he's barely touched. His cards are also sitting on the table, neatly arranged to sit as a deck.

His tone is one of exasperation with the nightmares, though he's trying to keep himself from needlessly snapping too much.]

You look well-rested.

[psychmaster]

[She looks up at her sphere and smiles a little bit]

I am.

[kuroi_sanda]

No nightmares, no nothing? Lucky you.

[Something does seem off about her, though, but he's going to chalk that up to his own exhaustion for the moment.]

[psychmaster]

I don't dream much.

[kuroi_sanda]

You're not missing out on much, in my opinion.

[psychmaster]

You should come down here.

[kuroi_sanda]

Why?

[psychmaster]

It's nice. It's also relaxing and you look like you could use it.

[kuroi_sanda]

If I wanted to destress, I'd go program five or so opponents at once at the Holosuite. [A small, stifled yawn.] Or I'd program in an opponent with Judai's deck. That'd be more of a challenge.

[psychmaster]

But would that help you sleep?

[She thinks the music will~]

[kuroi_sanda]

It'd tire me out enough that I could get in a good two, maybe even three hours before that stupid nightmare wakes me up again.

[Stubborn!Mr. Grumpy Pants is stubborn.]

[psychmaster]

[Don't make her come find you~]

At least give it a try.

[kuroi_sanda]

[You're going to have to drag him~]

I don't want to.

[psychmaster]

[And she's up and going to find you now~]

[kuroi_sanda]

[You'll find Manjoume on level 15, still at that café, still with that hot chocolate, still having not really touched that cake.]

[psychmaster]

[And she finds him and grabs his wrist, you're coming with her now~]
